Description of the Domaine Pillot Fernand et Laurent
Sentier du Clou is a steep, south-east-facing premier cru on the slopes above the village of Saint-Aubin. The domaine owns about 0.4 ha of Chardonnay there, planted in 2007 and Guyot-pruned, on very calcareous white marl soils covered with scree and rich in fossils
Sentier du Clou is a steep, south-east-facing premier cru on the slopes above the village of Saint-Aubin. The domaine owns about 0.4 ha of Chardonnay there, planted in 2007 and Guyot-pruned, on very calcareous white marl soils covered with scree and rich in fossils. It is a cool site that gives taut wines. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. The wine ferments in French oak barrels and is aged there for 11 to 12 months, 50% new, before being bottled at the domaine.
The 2024 shows a nose of citrus peel and white fruit, with a youthful touch of oak. The palate is fine, bright and taut, carried by a clear mineral freshness. This is a precise, lively Saint-Aubin that will benefit from a year or two in bottle and can age gracefully for several years.

Champimonts (or Champs Pimont) is a Beaune Premier Cru on the mid-slope, in the south of the appellation, on limestone soils. The wine is made without chemicals or additives, apart from a very small dose of sulphur
Domaine Niellon
Clos De La Maltroie
The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex
Domaine Gouges Henri
Les Pruliers
Domaine Arnaud Ente
Bourgogne Blanc
The colour is pale gold. The nose unfolds in the glass with crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, blanched almonds and bread dough, with a floral touch. The palate is full and generous, with an elegant texture and lively acidity
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Clos De La Barre
The 2022 offers a nose of pear, citrus oil, fresh bread and toasted hazelnut. The palate is satiny and incisive, with fine mineral tension and a long, spicy finish. Critics hail it as one of the finest Clos de la Barre in recent years
